Finally... Time For A Game Of Golf

Today's score: 83

My playing partners: Chips, Mary, & Bev.

Bev has mostly played at Leavenworth but will be playing at Three Lakes now too. This was the first time I had met her and she is very nice and a pretty good golfer too. Chips and Mary both play regularly at Three Lakes and they're always fun to be around. But, I have to warn you... if you ever ride in a cart with Mary, I recommend a helmet (and more life insurance)! She's a little more exuberant with her driving than I am.

I haven't forgotten (or been ashamed) to post the last three weeks. My last post, from the Spring Fling at the Wenatchee Golf & Country Club, was truly the last time I played. I've been busy with work (selling houses, of course) and sticking close to home to be with my husband more. I had been playing poorly anyway, so a little layoff wasn't a bad thing. I didn't like that habit of shooting in the 90's on a regular basis.

Today, overall, my game was pretty good. I had one birdie (on the par 5 #13), a lot of pars and, obviously, quite a few bogeys. I was driving the ball pretty good but not totally consistent. My iron game was decent and my putting was pretty good. I'm still not hitting my fairway woods very well so I only used them twice (with terrible results). Gotta get out on the driving range with those. This is a problem that plaques me off and on. When they are working, it's awesome, but when not... aargh!

I didn't really have a lot of short chips. Mostly I was approaching the greens from 100 yards and further out. For that reason, I wasn't getting close enough to the pin to get many one putts, butI did only have 32 putts total for the day (including one 3 putt).

Today's team game was "draw for score". What that means everyone is assigned a number from 1-4 (determined by their position on the score card). When everyone has holed out, you draw a number to determine who's score to post for the team score. You, of course, want to draw the number of the person with the lowest score. That did happen a few times but, we also drew the highest score on more than one occasion. As it turns out, our team won low gross for $5 each. I don't remember our actual score. It wasn't particularly good, but the other teams must have had more of a problem than we did drawing the right number. It was fun to be back out and in the sun!
